Will Hacker looking to go one step further Junior

10-12 Division resumes Friday

By Eric Morken Alexandria Echo Press

Someone will walk away with their first-ever Resorters Tournament championship trophy on Saturday in the Junior 10-12 Division.

Will Hacker came oh so close a year ago. He fell in a 2-up championship match against Lunden Esterline, but he has come back looking to take it one step further this year.

Hacker shot a 38 in qualifying to finish as the top seed in this field. He has since survived two close matches in a 3-2 final over Gavin Srock on Monday and a 1-up decision over Bronx Esterline on Wednesday.

Waiting for Hacker in the semifinals on Friday morning at 9 a.m. from the 10th tee will be 12th-seeded Ellie Sticha. She has proven to be a problem for a couple of lower seeds after beating fourth-seeded Henry Buttweiler 4-3 on Wednesday and fifth-seeded Braum Peterson in her matchplay opener.

On the bottom half of this bracket is second-seeded Jaxn Hacker and sixth-seeded Graham Odland. Jaxn has played in two different types of matches — winning a close 2-1 final over 15th-seeded Garrison Johnson on Monday before running away with a 5-3 win against 10th-seeded Jack Harris on Wednesday.

Odland survived a 1-up battle against 11th-seeded Josh Bell in his opener. He then won 4-2 on Wednesday against Tyler Cullen.
